Chapter 645: Why Are You So Poor? |
Finally out?
A towering and imposing figure wearing a black robe walked out slowly. His wrists were still chained with black iron chains, and he was exuding a thick killing intent.
When the man saw Erya and Little White, his brows furrowed. "Was it you who broke the seal?"
Erya nodded.
A look of doubt appeared in the black-robed man's eyes as he glanced at Erya and Little White. Eventually, his gaze settled on Little White.
"Spirit Progenitor?" the black-robed man muttered in surprise.
Little White blinked. She then flipped her tiny paw, and a large pill appeared in her hand.
After confirming Little White's identity as a Spirit Progenitor, the black-robed man smiled. To have a Spirit Progenitor sent to him right after coming out was simply a gift from the heavens.
Erya and Little White exchanged glances upon seeing the black-robed man's smile. Erya then glanced at the ring on the black-robed man's hand.
He'd rise to prominence upon obtaining a Spirit Progenitor.
Little White hurriedly shook her head.
The black-robed man didn't get angry at the refusal. He smiled and said, "It's okay. You'll change your mind later."
With that, he reached out his right hand toward Little White to try and forcefully take her under his control.
However, his right hand was met with a tiny fist. It was tiny, but it was Erya's fist!
With a bang, the black-robed man was blasted away. He flew until he crashed into a cliff.
The underground world seemed to crumble as an aftereffect of Erya's attack.
Deep underground, the black-robed man looked down at his shattered fleshly body in confusion. My fleshly body was shattered by a single punch?
The black-robed man found it hard to accept.
Just then, the little girl appeared in front of him again.
The black-robed man's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "You—"
The little girl threw another punch.
Boom!
The underground world collapsed, becoming a massive abyss.
Meanwhile, Ye Guan and Shen Ye had just entered the underground world. They felt a powerful shockwave, and their expressions changed slightly upon sensing it.
Ye Guan waved his sleeve, and a surge of sword intent burst out, blocking the powerful shockwave.
Ye Guan was feeling somewhat surprised as he stared into the distance. Why was Erya fighting with someone?
Beside Ye Guan, Shen Ye's expression became serious. "What a terrifying evil beast..."
Shen Ye couldn't help but look at Ye Guan beside him, feeling somewhat doubtful. Can he really handle that evil beast?
"Let's go," Ye Guan said. His figure trembled as he transformed into a streak of sword light that rushed into the distance.
Shen Ye wasted no time and hurriedly chased after him.
Meanwhile, Erya was about to make another move when she sensed something and turned her head. A streak of sword light was flying toward her in the distance.
"Grandson?" Erya muttered.
The sword light fell in front of Erya, and Ye Guan's figure stepped out of the column of sword light.
Seeing Ye Guan, Little White's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly flew onto his shoulder. Then, tiny claws stroked Ye Guan's head affectionately.
Ye Guan had no idea what to say.
Erya walked up to Ye Guan and smiled, "Little grandson, why did you come here?"
Grandson?
Shen Ye's expression became strange.
Ye Guan didn't mind being called "grandson" by Erya, so he smiled and said, "I heard that you guys were here, so I came here to find you."
Ye Guan glanced at the black-robed man, who was slowly approaching them in the distance, and asked, "Who is he?"
Erya replied, "He wants to take Little White away."
Ye Guan's expression immediately darkened. He wants to take Little White away? That's unacceptable.
The black-robed man in the distance hurriedly said, "It's a misunderstanding! It was just a misunderstanding."
The black-robed man was truly afraid.
Earlier, he only had eyes for the Spirit Progenitor; he had ignored Erya, so he had failed to realize that she was an evil beast...
Of course, it was normal for him not to recognize Erya, as she was in her humanoid form.
Erya had taken a liking to her humanoid form long ago.
Shen Ye glanced at the black-robed man. "Divine Dao realm?"
The black-robed man forced a smile and said, "It's just a misunderstanding, you...you guys continue..."
As he spoke, he was about to leave.
At this moment, Erya suddenly appeared in front of the black-robed man. The black-robed man's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "You..."
Erya pointed at the ring on the black-robed man's hand and said, "That's mine."
The black-robed man was speechless.
Ye Guan's expression froze. He finally understood why Erya and Little White were so wealthy.
The black-robed man muttered hesitantly, "It's mine..."
"We rescued you," Erya said blandly, "Don't you want to show some gratitude?"
Little White also waved her tiny paw, trying to say that some gratitude was necessary.
The black-robed man fell silent. Why are the Spirit Progenitor and this evil beast acting like bandits?
Erya's expression suddenly turned cold.
Seeing that, the black-robed man hurriedly said, "O-of course! I should show some gratitude..."
With that, he reluctantly took off the ring and handed it to Erya. Erya took the ring and glanced at it. Her eyebrows furrowed, "Why are you so poor?"
What the fuck? The black-robed man's eyes widened in disbelief. Why are you complaining that I'm poor after robbing me? Does justice still exist in this world?
Erya hurled the ring at Ye Guan. "Here, it's yours."
Ye Guan blinked. He peeled into the ring and saw an Ancestral Vein. There were some divine treasures as well. If sold, they'd earn Ye Guan a handsome number of Ancestral Origin strands.
Ye Guan's eyes widened in surprise. He hurriedly put away the ring and grinned. "Thank you, Erya."
He didn't expect to profit so much when he only came here to find Erya.
The black-robed man glanced at Erya and said, "Can I go now?"
Erya waved her hand. "Go ahead."
The black-robed man turned around to leave, but Shen Ye suddenly said, "Wait."
The black-robed man turned to look at Shen Ye, feeling a bit wary.
Shen Ye looked at him and asked, "How long have you been trapped here?"
The black-robed man said in a deep voice, "About a hundred thousand years."
A hundred thousand years? Ye Guan's eyes widened. This guy has been here for a hundred thousand years?!
Ye Guan reckoned that if he were in the black-robed man's shoes, he'd definitely go crazy.
Shen Ye asked, "Were you sealed by the Demon Emperor?"
The black-robed man's expression immediately changed, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.
Ye Guan looked at Shen Ye and asked, "The Demon Emperor?"
Shen Ye nodded, "The first generation Demon Emperor of the Mountain Sea World, with sixty percent divinity in the Divine Dao Realm... he was the strongest demon beast in the history of our Mountain Sea World."
"Is he no longer here?"
"He left the Mountain Sea World."
Shen Ye then looked at the black-robed man and said, "When I was young, my ancestors told me that the Demon Emperor himself had sealed and imprisoned a human here. That human being apparently has extraordinary origins, and they're apparently from the powerful Luogu World."
The black-robed man's expression changed slightly at Shen Ye's remark, and it was impossible to decipher his thoughts.
Shen Ye glanced at the black-robed man before turning to Ye Guan and saying, "Young friend, if we let him go, he'll definitely spread the news about how you have a Spirit Progenitor to the Luogu World. Then, you'll have endless trouble by then."
Ye Guan frowned and stared deeply at the black-robed man.
"I won't! I absolutely won't!" said the black-robed man.
Ye Guan turned to Shen Ye and asked, "Senior Shen Ye, what is the Luogu World?"
"Luogu World ranks third among the most powerful forces out there," Shen Ye explained, "I'm sure the Demon Emperor has decided to seal him rather than kill him outright because he was afraid of the Luogu Clan. As the name says, they reside in the Luogu World."
"I am from the Luogu Clan, but I don't have a great relationship with them," the black-robed man said, sighing softly before continuing, "Otherwise, they wouldn't have ignored me back then. In addition, it has been a hundred thousand years since then, and any connection I had with the Luogu Clan has disappeared long ago..."
The black-robed man then stared earnestly at Ye Guan and said, "Young man, I'm already lucky enough to escape, so I'll never seek trouble!"
The black-robed man had figured it out. He needed the young man's approval if he wanted to leave here, and the young man's cultivation base didn't matter at all.
Ye Guan said, "You may go."
The black-robed man quickly turned around and left.
Shen Ye looked a bit worried. Ye Guan glanced at Little White beside him and then smiled. "Don't worry on their behalf."
If the black-robed man were to sell Ye Guan out, the Luogu Clan would have to worry about the consequences.
Even if Ye Guan were to die, Erya and Little White would definitely survive.
When it came to fighting, these two ancestors of his could easily summon a group of experts. Moreover, these two were close with Yang Ye...
Seeing Ye Guan's indifferent look, Shen Ye became curious about Ye Guan, Erya, and Little White's background.
They seemed to be members of the same family, but Shen Ye could swear that he had never heard of the Yang Family before.
Ye Guan walked up to Erya and smiled, "What are your plans?"
Erya thought for a moment before replying, "We came here to find you."
Ye Guan was puzzled. "Find me?"
"Yes." Erya nodded eagerly.
"What are you looking for me for?"
"We're worried about you."
Ye Guan's mouth twitched, and then he hesitated briefly before saying, "Did you sneak out?"
Erya glanced at Ye Guan and looked away before saying, "We really were worried about you, and that's why we came here to find you..."
Just then, Erya seemed to have recalled something. "We brought you a treasure."
Erya glanced at Little White, who blinked and pulled out a dark gold seal.
As soon as the dark gold seal appeared, the world around them began to melt.
Shen Ye and Ye Guan froze in shock.
Erya hurriedly put away the dark gold seal and gestured with her hands, saying, "Not this one, it's that one..."
Little White blinked before waving her tiny paw.
Swoosh!
A coffin appeared in front of Ye Guan.
Ye Guan was a bit surprised to see the coffin. Why does this coffin look so familiar?
